was it ultima or might and magic that had some weird sci fi space poo poo in some of the games like a twist third act or w/e

i never played much of the might and magic series, but in m&m x there's definitely an npc who's an alien collecting samples of the minotaurs and chimeras you kill before he flies back to planet x

Steam controller had some buttons on the back as well which was nice

There are definitely upsides and downsides to the existence of a de facto standard for the design of game controllers

I have always wondered what Heroes of Might and Magic 3 could have been like if it went with the forge.

as punishing it is, Diabotical is a really charming attempt to allow a soft entry into a q3a clone. i have played a couple of rounds with way better friends each night since it released, and have found it a nice little adrenaline peak to wrap up the active part of the evening on.

Does any knowledgeable jamester know if the following exists; a joypad with:

a) offset analog sticks
b) a gyro
c) analog triggers

Xbox One pad has A&C, PS Pad has B&C and Switch Pro Pad has A&B :mad:

i liked shadowrun sk, usually you have some self-determining retroactive story choices to work within and that’s fine

also imo selecting dialogue options and reading flavor text are not the “actual game part” of that game

the xcom clone sucks

the visual novel bits are so fuckon good, insanely deep cuts in the decades old rpg poo poo, an upper undergrad understanding of japanese lit just stuck in there for no reason somehow without being too weeby, your relationship with the dude who fuckin sells you drones is better fleshed out than some AAA protag developments, to the extent that i stood there for minutes saying "what the gently caress did i just read"

these are all reasonable points. i say the writing may not be the game but that doesn’t mean i didn’t generally love it

i found the “game” part is more tolerable since dragonfall where you first get your runners with two specialization tracks. the rigger and the ghoul samurai are a lot of fun in that respect. also i found playing an area of effect combat mage made the “game” more fun

the bonus minicampaign for hk was kinda meh
